      When I hear "Dragonfly" the first thing that comes to mind is the work of Stephanie Law. If you've never come across her work take a look, it's beautiful.

      Thank you for the suggestion; she has gorgeous work. It sort of reminds me of Trina Shart Hyman and James Browne.

        @djlambson Woah, thatโ€™s very cool! Interesting information and a great resource for dragonfly movement studies. Thanks for sharing ๐Ÿ‘ Iโ€™m in the research stage for this prompt so I expect I might end up spiralling into a bit of distraction tornado myself today haha

              Oh nice, I like her illustrations a lot, thanks. James Browne I've been following for a while, he does some fantastic work. Stephanie's art like most peoples is even more spectacular to see in person. ๐Ÿ™‚

                      @Mary-Toth Terrific! I love the color palette and your line work is so clean while still being subtle. These kinds of images inspire me so much! Really nice work.

                                @chrisaakins I like the color play. The bright green with the red contrast definitely leads my eye to the dragon-fly. The rustic colors below are beautiful and varied. Thanks for posting.

                                  @josegalue25 beautiful oriental style. The use of color leads the eye in a triangle. First the dragonfly, then the fish, then the berries and back to the dragonfly. Blues and grays set them off nicely.
